KIPESE: Population terrified by construction of Ebola response team site

The construction of a location for the Ebola Response Teams at Kipese's Baraka Health Center is frightening locals. However, this should not be the case, said Paluku Kuliumbwa, official delegate of Kipese, when contacted Friday, December 7, 2018.

At the same time, the health care staff at this facility noted the gradual loss of most patients and the non-attendance at the facility. However, this should not be the case, says Kuliumbwa.

"This is all due the arrival of UNICEF agents at the Baraka health center, Friday, December 07, 2018. They have erected an Ebola treatment center. Seeing that, the population was afraid that we are coming to kill them. That's why they moved," says the governor's delegate to Kipese.

Kuliumbwa says that public awareness has begun to understand the value of Kipese's Ebola response agents. This is why he calls his citizens to watch so that the disease does not affect them. "

The disease has been in Equateur, Beni, Butembo, Musienene, Masereka and elsewhere. There is a risk that it will reach Kipese. The health team is here to prevent it. You do not have to be hard on the response teams," he said.

Since the declaration of the outbreak, no case has ever been reported in Kipese.
